Hyde Indoor Market Art Project
Artists Richard 'arbarus' Dawson and Jacqui Symons were commissioned by TMBC to work with people in Hyde produce a unique and unusual artwork to promote the many stalls hidden within the Aladdin’s Cave of the Hyde Indoor Market.
The project was aimed at engaging the local community and market tenants directly in the creative process of designing and creating the artwork to give the final piece real meaning to Hyde Market and a true sense of ownership to those involved.
The start of the project focused on collaboration with market tenants to develop a concept for the artwork and resulted in the idea of 3D lettering artwork signage. This developed into using the letters to represent and promote the amazing range of unique wares and services available within the market.
Once the 3D letter design was finalized Richard and Jacqui ran a series of creative workshops at community events and with local groups including HCA and Bennett Street Youth Centre to create artwork to embellish the letters.
These sessions included mosaic, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture to create parts of the letters.
Tameside Local Studies and Archive Centre, The Tripe Marketing Board and United Cattle Products all got involved supplying fascinating heritage photos of Hyde, it’s historical shops and traders that decorate the letter K. (There were too many to include them all but a visit to Tameside Local studies Centre is well worth while to see more….)
After the community sessions the letters were made at that artist’s studio workshop at Woodend Mill in Mossley and completed by the addition of the artwork elements.
